I’ve been using Arch Linux as a daily driver for about two years I believe. As with any other distribution, it depends on the user’s preferences, experience and needs, whether or not I’ll recommend them Arch.
What I like the most about Arch is the customization from the ground up, the rich, detailed and yet user-friendly Arch Wiki, the AUR (although one shouldn’t depend on it too much) and that after the installation everything seems more trouble-free than the distributions I’ve tried before. Arch almost never broke for me and even then fixing the issues weren’t a big problem. It’s not as difficult as it is often portrayed.
Nor is it as easy as it is often portrayed. A new user could be comfortable starting with Arch Linux, but it doesn’t hurt to have experienced another distribution that is intended to be user-friendly.
